HELP! My dd (9mth) has always been a fantstic sleeper, but has recently started rolling in her sleep and getting various limbs jammed through the bars of her cot - today, she had her leg jammed so bad i had to rub vaseline over it to ease it out!
I have tried pitting her to bed on her front, but she usually cries. Someone suggested a cot bumper but i thought this was a no- no because of using it to get out etc.
Please help - she really is giving me a head ache now!

I think at this age it would be a probnlem for climbing. Second the grobags- better than sliced bread.

We have tried gro bags - she still manages to get her legs through, although not jammed. Would a gro-bag plus a bumper work? Has anyone tried this? She is still unable to pull herself up to sit or stand.
Surely i am not the only one out there with this problem!

We used a bumper for a bit but stuffed most of it down past the mattress so only an inch or so was above, enough to stop head pressing on the bars. Sort of kept the arms in. Grobag kept the legs in. HTH

Oh, removed bumper when ds could stand/pull up. Now we line the edge of his cot with soft toys (which he holds in his sleep ) and this acts like a bumper iyswim.

We do the toy line up too. I think a grobag and a bumper will be a bit too hot in this weather don't you think?

we switched to the travel cot, we were lucky ours is big normal cot sized one and the proper matress fits in the bottom, no more bangs and less night waking
